Everything You Know Is Wrong

Weird Al Yankovic

Transposer:

Standard Tuning EADGBe A more simplified version of an extremely complicated song (no reference intended) Intro:              I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane with a rabid wolverine in my underwear when suddenly a guy behind me in the back seat popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes I guessed "Is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie? is it Bob or Joe or Walter? Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed or Bernie or Steve?" I probably would have kept on guessing but about that time we crashed into the truck And as I’m laying bleeding there on the asphalt finally I recognize the face of my hibachi dealer who takes off his prosthetic lips and tells me Chorus 1: Everything you know is wrong! Black is white up is down and short is long And everything you thought was just so important doesn’t matter Everything you know is wrong! Just forget the words and sing along All you need to understand is everything you know is wrong Verse 2: I was walkin’ to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams when I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension and soon I was abducted by some aliens from space who kinda looked like Jamie Farr They sucked out my internal organs and they took some polaroids and said I was a darn good sport As a way of saying thank you they offered to transport me back to any point in history that I would care to go And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night so I could pay my phone bill on time Just then the floating disembodied head of Colonel Sanders started yelling Chorus 2: Everything you know is wrong! Black is white up is down and short is long And everything you thought was just so important doesn’t matter Everything you know is wrong! Just forget the words and sing along All you need to understand is everything you know is wrong [Instrumental Interlude] Accordion Solo:                   Saxophone Solo:                         Guitar Solo:                   (two strums) Verse 3: I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin when I got a nasty papercut And well to make a long story short it got infected and I died So now I’m up in heaven with St. Peter by the pearly gates and it’s obvious he doesn’t like the Nehru jacket that I’m wearing he tells me that they’ve got a dress code well He lets me into heaven anyway but I get the room next to the noisy ice machine for all eternity And every day he runs by screaming Chorus 3: Everything you know is wrong! Black is white up is down and short is long and Everything ya used to think was so important doesnt really matter anymore because the simple fact remains that Everything you know is wrong! Just forget the words and sing along All you need to understand is everything you know is wroooooooooooooooong everything you know is wrong!   (end)

La chanson évoque un monde où tout semble être à l’envers, avec des situations absurdes et des événements inattendus. Le narrateur se retrouve dans des situations déconcertantes, comme conduire avec un animal sauvage ou être enlevé par des extraterrestres. À chaque fois, il réalise que tout ce qu’il pensait connaître est en fait complètement faux. Les luttes quotidiennes et les préoccupations qui peuvent sembler cruciales perdent leur importance dans ce monde où les certitudes sont remises en question. Le contexte global semble tourner autour de l’humour et de l’absurde, en jouant avec des clichés de la vie quotidienne et en les mettant sens dessus dessous. Cela invite à réfléchir sur la perception de notre réalité et le sérieux avec lequel nous prenons parfois nos soucis. Les événements loufoques illustrent un besoin de légèreté face à l’incertitude de la vie.
